betta with bulging eye

Question
Overnight, my betta Elliott has come up with a bulging eye. (Of course, the first thing I did was go to the internet for answers.) I've had him for five months and have not had any issues with him until now. Any ideas? Thanks!

Answer
Hi Lynn;

Sounds like a condition known as "pop-eye". Here are a couple of links to info about it;

I hope he feels better soon....
